It would be kinda hard for Japanese tourists to carry a Super-Kamiokande while visiting Disney. 😉😁
Seriously, that was a ton of new learning in 8 minutes. They never taught in public school that light has different speeds going through different media. Not to mention that public schools teach little about subatomic particles other…[Read more]

I realized this while watching this awesome episode on bacteria phages, which are viruses that prey only on bacteria. I start the hour long episode more than halfway in, and it’s not important to watch any further than their discussion on gain of function:

Antibiotic over-prescriptions are already proven to be a dangerous way to cause pathogenic bacteria to evolve resistance to treatments. Some doctors still prescribe them for “just in case” scenarios, and patients…[Read more]
